This essay shows that William Langland/Longe Wille wrote The Romance of William of Palerne.It brings forward evidence from its text in two main ways:(1).synchronically,i.e.across the text;and(2).diachronically,‘across time’.There is a comparison between this c.1360-61 work and the previous 1191-4 NE Old French/Picard poem Le Roman de Guillaume de Palerne specifically of three passages from each.
